RE: Find in Files/Searching content of files in the repository

Thanks. I'm going to give this a go. Based on other responses about
trac, I think this is my best option. Especially since we are using
CollabNet for the other portions - issue tracking and such - with the
exception of Wiki.

Thanks again.

> I've just had a request from a user that I'm don't think is possible
with any Subversion client, but thought I would ask. The user was
wondering if there is any support to search the content of files in a
repository without having to check out the files, such as the "Find In
Files" functionality in Visual Source Safe.
 
> At this point, the only means I know to search the file contents of a
repository is to checkout the repository and perform a search using the
file system. Do any Win32 Subversion clients support this type of
search without performing a checkout?
 

Bleh. You can use 'svn cat' to dump the contents of a file, and 'svn ls
-R' to feed filenames to 'svn cat'.

Unix or Cygwin
--------------
svn ls -R url |
while read i
do
        echo $i
        svn cat "$i" | grep -i magic_word
done

Windows
-------
for /f %i in ('svn ls -R url') do @echo %i && svn cat "%i" | findstr /i
"magic_word" %i
